A world full of people

Constantly surrounded

No silence

Never peace

All these things to do

People to please

Trying to not disappoint

Never a moment to breath

Surrounded for all eternity

People

Does more need to be said?

Social interaction

Is anything more frightening?

You watch their words weave back and forth

Sarcasm and underlying reasons

It’s a world of mystery to you

How do they always know what to say?

How do you become excepted?

Even if you join, you just sit quietly

They ask questions you don’t know how to answer

“How is your day?”

“Did you like the show?”

When you talk everything just comes pouring out

So instead you keep it all inside

Because people are the scariest thing of all

Contentment has filled your life

You’re where you want to be

You’re satisfied

Is it happiness though?

You’re content

But not joyful

You’re life is not lonely or sad

But are you happy?

Is your life full of people?

You’re not sure

You’re content

You’ve stopped chasing things

You don’t strive for more

But you wonder if you should

Because you’ve always been chasing

Chasing happiness

You’re content now though

You don’t need more

Are you happy though?

You’re still not sure

But for now you’re not chasing or running

So you relax and breath it all in

I can still stand

You didn't take everything

You made me strong

Strong enough it's still here

Even if you're not

You made me a better person

Not in us combined

But in me standing here alone

You were a rock

But not my rock

You made me better

And I see that in every action I make

But now you're gone

And so I miss you

I miss you in every action I make

He is your butterfly

He is beautiful and wonderful

He makes you smile

He makes you laugh

You never want to let him go

But he is a butterfly

You have to let him go

If you don't he'll slowly die

His colors will fade

His wings will droop

He will no longer fly

So you let him go

You get him free

And off he flies into the wind

You blink and he's gone

You may never see him again

But he will always be your butterfly

You know you can do it

You will put up a fight

You will battle again

You know you can win

And then you hear it

"We are worried for you,

We're not sure if you'll do it"

And you know they mean well

They've seen your best

But they’ve seen your worst

And they're not sure you'll make it

And now that sureness is gone

What if you fall?

What if you fail?

You can't be so sure

When your certainty fails

How can you be confident in yourself

When they say you might fail

And you know that it's true

But then how can you not

If you know you can fall

How do you keep yourself up

When you see how you'd fail

How do you not?

We search our whole lives

To find that right person

The one who feels safe

The one who fits us

And who we want to be

But what if we find them

When our search is all done

How do we change

From looking to loving

How do we let ourselves open

To let them walk in

We have them our heart

But how do we except theirs?

When all we've done is give

How does accepting begin?

We labels ourselves

Our relationships too

But can't we be more

Than a job or a role?

Does a relationship matter

Or the label you give it?

When something for you

Is defined by a title

The world gives it a meaning

But as you go on

Do you live by the label

Or by the thing that you have?

A bright star

A quick glance

Oh how it fills your soul

A brilliant new beginning

Where will it go

Where will you go

Flying high and free

Free and wonderful

A dream just beginning

Is he gay?

Or not?

He helps you shop

He calls you hun

But he likes his clothes too much

And he may call everybody that

Is he gay?

Or not?

He held your hand

But nothing more

He may be flirting

But it's not quite right

Is he gay?

Or not?

Others say yes

You're not quite sure

He hasn't said

Either way

Is he gay?

Or not?

He's flamboyant

But he's also in drama

It could go either way

So is he?

Or isn't he?

Who will ever know
